Be me
forget the exact syntax for using rsync.
get nested folders by mistake or end up with lots of files in the current directory
sync files then delete files like 100 times as you try to remember the syntax
look at the man page and then try again
get nested folders by mistake or end up with lots of files in the current directory
sync files then delete files like 100 times as you try to remember the syntax
finally figure it out


create a file in this directory
call it rsync
paste in the command that just worked
make it executable: chmod +x rsync


now whenever I need to rsync the directory, I can just run
./rsync
and whenever I see an rsync file in that directory, I know I've already figured out the syntax before
and the ladies be throwin theyselves at me


## rsync
#!/bin/bash

rsync -av --exclude 'rsync' SERVER:/path/* .
